Grammy-nominated guitarist and Vulfpeck member Cory Wong announces the return of his acclaimed Syncopated Summer Camp, scheduled for August 13-16, 2026, at the iconic Fairmont San Francisco. The four-day, four-night intensive experience welcomes music fans, rhythm players, and enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels for an unparalleled deep dive into rhythm, groove, and musicianship.

Following two successful years, the 2026 edition promises to be the most comprehensive yet, featuring an expanded faculty of legendary musicians and an enhanced curriculum designed to inspire players from true beginners to advanced professionals.

“This camp is for musicians who want to further develop their skills on guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards,” said Wong. “If you know me at all, you know that I am very passionate about rhythm, groove, pocket, and time feel. We are going to discuss and explore all of these topics and more. I’ve handpicked all of the instructors not only for their experience and expertise but also for their ability to articulate how and why they do the things they do.”

• Victor Wooten – Five-time Grammy-winning bassist
